Checkmarx API Security

Checkmarx API Security discovers APIs in application source code and documentation, including undocumented shadow APIs and abandoned zombie APIs. It builds a global inventory showing vulnerabilities and supports remediation prioritization by business risk. The scanner supports Java Spring, ASP.NET Web API and Python Flask, and examines OpenAPI, Swagger and Postman collections for documentation mismatches. An API Change Log records history, including the commit and developer linked to a vulnerability-introducing change. Checkmarx DAST findings can be correlated with SAST findings in the same inventory to identify runtime-confirmed issues. Integrations include GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps, Jenkins, GitHub Actions, VS Code, JetBrains, Jira, Slack and Microsoft Teams. Security statements cover AES-256 encryption at rest, HTTPS with TLS 1.2, annual SOC 2 Type II audits and GDPR-aligned privacy practices. Deployment is cloud or hybrid. Pricing is custom, based on modules, deployment model and developers in scope; no self-serve trial is offered.
